wa-24ncvc-1212-03-2024 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 28 April 2025 • WA-24NCvC-1212-03/2024 • 19 min read

12 cases cited (0 SG, 12 foreign)

Catchwords

The Appellant's conduct represented a sustained and deliberate assault on the administration of justice. His repeated filings demonstrate a complete disregard for this Court's authority and an attempt to render the Vexatious Litigant Order meaningless. The authorities establish that custodial sentences are appropriate for serious breaches of court orders, particularly where there is no remorse and the contempt is persistent in nature. Having regard to all the circumstances and the authorities cited above, this Court found that a custodial sentence is both necessary and appropriate to reflect the gravity of the contempt and to deter similar conduct.
